One would have naturally thought that a "3rd Generation" PSRU would be the "cat's meow"; but that evidently isn't the case, and it almost cost a pilot and pax in an RV-9A their lives! The below report (see link) also states that there have been quite a few failures of this PSRU, and one came after only 160 hrs of usage! Amazing the "snake oil" that is out there and ready to hurt people...

I hope to get
after the 13B FWF on my RV-9A this winter and have it ready for an engine run
in Feb or March when it warms up a bit. This FWF package is the one that I bought from Tommy James back
in 2005 or 6 (has it been that long ago?), and he flew it for 60 hrs or so in his Glastar. It is really time to get it finished up I think!
Fly safe out there!

RV-3A restored and flying
RV-9A moving to the top of the "to do" list again! :)
